Venus in Aquarius harmonizes with the North Node of Destiny on December 10th, urging us to step up and define relationships. Two days later, Venus opposes Mars retrograde in Leo, intensifying the way we connect to others. Grievances will be aired, pushing us to debate our feelings and actions. You don't have to participate in this messiness—remain unbothered and focused on yourself. Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius aspects Venus on December 13, allowing us to speak from the heart and make amends. December 15th’s full moon in Gemini occurs hours before Mercury turns direct. Be mindful of what you express.

Don’t create drama just to make a point.

Witch-tip:

To let go of limiting beliefs that are holding you back, it's important to meditate on what you truly wish to manifest in your life. Concentrate on your soul's desires and identify which beliefs or structures no longer serve you. Take some time to create two lists in your journal: one for what you want to attract and one for what you want to release. Reflect deeply on each item, and write about your feelings regarding them. This process will help you gain clarity on the path you should take.

Aries

Avoid meltdowns and drama if you can. A good way to deal with this energy is to meditate or count to three before confronting others. This will alleviate the situation and melt away stresses. By the end of the week, you’ll feel worn out and tired. Give yourself a rest.

Taurus

Try not to put too much pressure on yourself or others right now, and give yourself permission to have some alone time. If you do feel weighed down by emotions or responsibilities, a healthy outlet like walking or stretching can help ground you while releasing the physical symptoms of stress.

Gemini

Letting go of emotional upsets requires work and takes time. This isn’t something that can be done overnight. However, this week is a chance to allow yourself to get it right and to walk down the path that will inspire you to grow into the person you want to be.

Cancer

Try not to give up your own sense of peace to make others happy. It is not going to remedy the problems you're experiencing and undergoing. Sweeping emotions and sentiments under the rug never served the greater purpose, it only represses feelings and makes us stifled about our personal situations.

Leo

The opposition between Venus and Mars retrograde makes it challenging to focus on personal responsibilities. You may also feel as though you're being restricted in your movements during the week, which could result in a cagey or temperamental disposition. Luckily, the full moon is the key to unlocking such frustrations.

Virgo

There is hidden information that will be uncovered. It might not be immediate, but it will come out with the bathwater soon. Listen to what people are saying before reacting to ensure you don't tell on yourself and spill your own tea. Stay tuned and be cautious throughout the week.

Libra

Connecting to loved ones is strongly encouraged. You don't know how others are feeling right now, but that will be soon revealed especially in romantic situations, so just be patient. Relationships in general are going through a phase of affection and evolution as the full moon sorts out the details.

Scorpio

The full moon kicks up the dust and sends you in a totally different direction. Be prepared for some unexpected news and surprises that have you jumping into new experiences almost instantaneously. The old way of looking at things won't help us evolve, so it is best to look forward.

Sagittarius

There are many challenges presented that require careful analysis. In fact you might be way too hard on yourself these days especially as trickster Mercury retrograde encourages you to weigh out every situation making it tough to make a final decision. Remember that you know what is best for you.

Capricorn

There is a feeling of being deeply supported on an emotional scale despite how vulnerable the healing process might be. You are not alone even though it can feel like you're alone these days. Reach out to a friend or family member for guidance to assist you along the way.

Aquarius

The central theme of the week centers around partnerships and those who mirror you on a soul level. The energy commands you to dive into your psychological wounds, and purge them through the energy of the full moon. You will find that you're able to mend relationships and your heart.

Pisces

There is an internal grappling happening between your personal need to feel secure. You should think about how you wish to proceed and take steps towards planning ahead for your own peace of mind. Create a budget that suggests the best strategy to save money at this moment in time.
